Bitcoin news shows the cryptocurrency falling over 3% as rising U.S. Treasury yields dampen risk appetite. The price has pulled back approximately 10% from its May 6 high of $82,500. U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $1.26 billion net outflow this week, the largest since January 2026. Over the past two weeks, outflows have now exceeded $2.26 billion. Meanwhile, concerns over supply risks in the Strait of Hormuz are directing speculative capital toward commodities such as crude oil, copper, and sulfur.

Odaily Planet Daily report: Analysis suggests that rising U.S. Treasury yields and bond yields across major global economies are reducing market appetite for high-risk, non-yielding assets like Bitcoin. Meanwhile, amid developments in Iran, concerns over potential supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have intensified, prompting some speculative capital to flow into commodity markets such as crude oil, copper, and sulfur.

Market data shows that Bitcoin has declined over 3% in the past 24 hours and is down approximately 10% from its recent high of around $82,500 on May 6. Amid the market downturn, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have continued to experience outflows. This week, U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of approximately $1.26 billion, marking the largest weekly outflow since January this year. The previous week also saw outflows nearing $1 billion, bringing the total net outflow over the past two weeks to over $2.26 billion.
